Description

SAB and organ. Text from the CofE Common Worship (alternate Collect for Trinity Sunday).

Notes: Play this anthem through to your choir before asking them to sing it. They will be transfixed by the simple and mysterious beauty of the piece. Practice the bass part first as it is important that the intervals, particularly the falling 5ths, are in tune. Choirs may like to sing the piece with the piano although it would just as effective with organ accompaniment as long as the left hand eighth note movement is well defined.

Lyrics

Holy God, Faithful and unchanging: enlarge our minds with the knowledge of your truth, and draw us more deeply into the mystery of your love, that we may truly worship you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever, Amen.
